IBM rebuilds Unix servers with Power5 chip

Can you say: Bait-and-switch? The ENTIRE IBM Linux strategy is based on talking up Linux - but delivering such poor results, that the customer is forced to go with AIX (at 10x the price). Sad, really sad.

Here's a question - If IBM can deliver a 3.2 Ghz 3-core PPC chip to M$ for the Xbox360, then why is it delivering POKEY 1.9 Ghz Power 5+ chips?; Posted by: Roger Ramjet Posted on: 10/04/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
